Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream 8-in-1 Skin Transformer

Review time! I wanna talk about my favorite BB Cream: Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream 8-in-1 Skin Transformer. 

First of all, what is a BB Cream? 

BB stands for Blemish Balm, some people call it Beblesh Balm but most people use Blemish Balm. It's most popular in South Korea and Japan before. Now, it boomed in the world of cosmetics industry. People all over the world loved it cause of it's properties such as SPF, moisturizing power and of course coverage. It's not as full coverage as a foundation but it's coverage is more than a tinted moisturizer.

So back to my favorite BB Cream. So far i have tried a few BB Creams of my own but this one if my favorite. 

It has 8 pure minerals that is good for your skin and not only it does it moisturize but it also has SPF 26. So it's an all in 1 thing.  Even though it moisturizes i still wear my favorite moisturizer under it. One can never be too careful lol, i say that because i have Normal to Dry Skin so my skin needs some lovin! Another thing i love about this BB Cream is it's cheap! unlike the other BB Cream that cost what? 700php to 1000+php this one only costs 249php!!!! 

This is the swatch i have, it's not the same color as my skin but it's almost there. Anyway i only use a tinitiny amount on my face just to even everything out. It's hard for me to find the perfect tint cause of my color, it changes like crazy! Give me few minutes under the sun and i'm tan! The shade that i have is 02 Natural, they only got 2 shades so far and that's the darkest.

All in all i love this cause it's just amazing and it feels good on my skin unlike the other BB Creams/Foundations i've had! Will i repurchase it? YEP! i will! I am also looking forward to try the stick form which is a new addition to Maybelline. Star Rating: ★★★★✰

Art Store Find! Blending Brushes!

Brushes! How hard is it to find a decent brush in a good price? i know some brands that have cheap priced brushes but the thing is i still don't have enough for it lol. So what's the best solution to get makeup brushes for cheaper price? Go to your local Art store!

I went to National Bookstore and went to the art section, browsed some brushes and i saw some perfect brushes that i can use for make up! Here are some of the 3 i saw:

Pentel 6,8 and 10.

They weren't shaped like that when i bought them, i wasn't able to take a picture before i shaped them! I cut the hair to form a tapered blending brush look and it works really good!

I love how their handles are long and i also love that for less than 70 pesos i already have 1 blending brush! Pentel 10 costs about 64.50 pesos, i forgot how much the other's costs though but i know they are still available at National Bookstore! Go check them out and if you like i'll do a video on how i trimmed the brush hair to make them really good blending brushes!

I actually have a makeup tutorial using this brushes:

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Let me know if you have some cheap brush ideas thanks!

e.l.f. Studio Powder and Stippling Brushes Review

I am sick today and i was a bit cranky earlier. Is it just me or i just want to feel extra taken cared of when i'm sick? Cause if it's just me then i am crazy, if not then thank God hallelujah i'm still sane lol

Anyway it's not that i really wanna blog about today, i wanna blog about 2 of E.L.F.'s Studio Line Brushes

They are 2 of my new brushes for my brush collection. They are gifts from my hubby. So before anything else, i want you girls to read the description from the website.

The layered bristles create a soft airbrushed look that's perfect for applying foundation or adding color definition to cheekbones or highlighting with soft layers. Use this brush with any liquid or powder face product such as foundation, blush or bronzer to build your coverage from sheer to heavy.

So! that's the description from the website! Let's see what i think!

The powder studio line brush is a sort of like a flat top brush! It's very dense and good for most stuff like buffing liquid and powder foundation, packing mineral foundation for more coverage, for bronzer and blushing! i love it! i mostly use mine for buffing my liquid foundation and using it with my finishing powder! I don't use it for contouring though since i have a different brush for that :P

The stippling brush is not dense as the powder brush is. I have never owned any other stippling brush to compare it with so this are just my first thoughts. It's kind of hard to use it since it's flimsy, i always thought/expected it would be a little more dense that that, it's  good for liquid foundation and for blushes. I've heard people using it with cream brush but since i am not so much a fan of heavy cream blush pots i don't really own one, well not just yet. I'll let you all know how it works once i get one.

For design, like the long black handle is so sophisticated. It kind of reminds me of Marrionaud brushes that i am crazy for, but that's another blog story lol. 

So basically given the circumstances that they are really cheap i love 'em! I'm going to hand it to e.l.f. that they do good brushes! Like most of their brushes are amazing! But for star categories i would give the powder brush 5/5 and the stippling brush a 3/5. I will be getting another powder brush for my purse and i will be looking for a new stippling brush, Sigma perhaps!
